USPAP
What is USPAP about, anyway?
People need answers about
real estate that they can trust
in order to make
informed decisions
The role of the appraiser is to
provide those answers
USPAP
If we want people to continue
asking for those answers
They need to trust that
appraisers will provide the
objective answers that are
needed to make good decisions
USPAP
We have to preserve the trust of
individuals one at a time,
but collectively, they add up to
the general public
which is why the goal of USPAP is to
"PRESERVE THE PUBLIC TRUST"
USPAP
what are the basic elements of USPAP?
o ethics rule

o standard 2 (reporting)
o standard 3 (appraisal review)
